Rubber
Rubber, rubber is described in the Encyclopaedia Britannica, Volume 19, 1965 edition: Rubber the substance caoutchouc (q.v.), a milklike fluid that is obtained from certain tropical shrubs or tyres and then subjected to various processes of manufacture; or it may be a product of chemical synthesis. The uniqueness of rubber lies in its physical properties of extensibility and toughness. In its natural state, it is greatly affected by temperature, becoming harder when cooled (at 0 x-10 x C it is opaque) and softer when heated (above 50x C it becomes tackier and less elastic, decomposing into liquid form at 190 x-200x C). When vulcanized (i.e. heated with sulfur at 120 x-160 x C) it loses its thermoplasticity and becomes stronger and more elastic..... Chemically, rubber is a polymer of isoprene..... The term synthetic rubber is used to describe an evergrowing number of elastic materials, some of which closely resemble natural rubber while others have completely different physical properti...
Caoutchouc
A tenacious elastic gummy substance obtained from the milky sap of several plants of tropical South America esp the euphorbiaceous tree Siphonia elastica or Hevea caoutchouc Asia and Africa Being impermeable to liquids and gases and not readly affected by exposure to air acids and alkalies it is used especially when vulcanized for many purposes in the arts and in manufactures Also called India rubber because it was first brought from India and was formerly used chiefly for erasing pencil marks and gum elastic See Vulcanization...
Gas
An aeumlriform fluid a term used at first by chemists as synonymous with air but since restricted to fluids supposed to be permanently elastic as oxygen hydrogen etc in distinction from vapors as steam which become liquid on a reduction of temperature In present usage since all of the supposed permanent gases have been liquified by cold and pressure the term has resumed nearly its original signification and is applied to any substance in the elastic or aeumlriform state...
Manometer
An instrument for measuring the tension or elastic force of gases steam etc constructed usually on the principle of allowing the gas to exert its elastic force in raising a column of mercury in an open tube or in compressing a portion of air or other gas in a closed tube with mercury or other liquid intervening or in bending a metallic or other spring so as to set in motion an index a pressure gauge See Pressure and Illust of Air pump...
Custody
Custody, The word is of elastic semantics but its core meaning is that the law has taken control of the person, Nianjan Singh v. Prabhakar Rajaram Kharote, (1980) 2 SCC 559: AIR 1980 SC 785 (787): (1980) 3 SCR 15. [Criminal Procedure Code (1974) s. 439]Means physical custody, Warner v.

State of Madhya Pradesh, (2004) 7 SCC 558.The word is of elastic semantics but its core meaning is that the law has taken control of the person. The expression 'custody' as used in s. 439 must be taken to be a compendious expression referring to the events on the happening of which the Magistrate can entertain a bail petition of an accused, Sunita Devi v. State of Bihar, (2005) 1 SCC 608 (613, 614). (Criminal Procedur...
